In late 2014 my good friend Peter Kellner approach me with a big idea – an idea that immediately caught my attention. He wanted to explore collaborating on a new conference idea that would highlight Angular and other “hot” Web development topics and wondered if I’d be interested in working with him and another friend of his named Kevin Nilson (who is also a good friend now) on a full-scale conference. I’ve been involved with chairing a lot of conference tracks over the years but never been the driving force behind organizing an entire

conference. While the idea was definitely exciting it was also a little scary – at least initially.

After talking more with Peter and Kevin I decided to jump in and we’ve been working hard to put on a top-notch conference called AngularU (short for “Angular University”) that will be held in San Francisco from June 22 – 25, 2015. I’m really excited about the conference and thought I’d discuss some of the key reasons in this post.

With DHTMLX Scheduler you can create not solely a MVC-based calendar control but also get a ready ASP.NET scheduling solution:
Simply follow the 11 steps described below:
1. Create a new C# project by selecting ASP.NET Web Application;

text, start_date and end_date. Data types should be set as int, nvarchar(250), datetime and datetime correspondingly (see the picture below). Save it as “Event”. Note that a primary key should be assigned to id and the identity column has to be additionally enabled;

Since the beginning of this year, I have had the privilege to tour across the west coast speaking at WebCamps featuring content and demos using Visual Studio 2013. A common theme across all of these camps was the positive reaction to some particular demos targeting the productive features enhancing web development.
